Chaos and Cunning

We end our first season of Chaos and Cunning with a deep dive into different seasonal magick practices - and we go way beyond the Wheel of the Year. Siri and Cassandra share some of the kinds of magic that they associate with the different seasons of the year, give advice on how to practice that magic, and we also talk about our own personal holidays.
And that's a wrap on season one!

One of the things that people just starting out in their magical journey get a little afraid of is spirit contact. But sometimes it's just fun to have ghost friends, so why not explore it when you feel ready? In this episode Siri and Cassandra talk about many different kinds of spirit contact, different boundaries to draw around that contact, and we share a few stories of different scrapes we've been in and how we've made it out of them. This one's a long one, so make sure to grab your favorite beverage and sit down to relax.

Get out your makeup brushes, your chest binders, and your most fabulous outfits and let's talk all things Glamour Magic! It might sound like a very niche area of witchcraft, but we wanted to talk about it in the first season of Chaos and Cunning because it is so so so useful from a body liberation, queer liberation perspective. In this episode Cassandra and Siri talk about many different ways and reasons to do glamour magic - and some of them may surprise you.

Hello lovely listeners! Did you miss us? We're back from our midseason break and so we're talking about what it looks like to take a break from your magical practice and how to ease back in. This is an important episode where we're talking about magical burnout as well as what that looks like from both a professional practitioner perspective as well as a regular practicing witch perspective. We give you tips and support for coming back to a magical practice.

Transcripts of all of our episodes are available on our Patreon for free.
